Impact Investing Ghana (IIGh) has announced a change in its board leadership, appointing Kwabena Boamah as the new Board Chair. Boamah, who has over 25 years of experience in asset management, pensions, and investment management, succeeds Alex Asiedu, who has served as the inaugural chair for seven years. Boamah is the Managing Director of Stanbic Investment Management Services Ltd, a leading firm in Ghana with assets under management exceeding USD 1.5 billion.

He currently chairs the Fund Managers & Investment Advisors Committee of the Ghana Securities Industry Association and has extensive governance experience.
